I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 388 The Turtle's Tale

Compared to Lei Xiu and Le Zhi's ease, the turtle was having a tough time. It was entangled with the largest octopus in the group. Although the turtle itself was not small, its physical condition made it a typical high-defense, low-attack creature. Especially against the agile octopus, they could only remain in a stalemate. Without external force to break the deadlock, neither could gain the upper hand.

Two companions cried out in distress in succession. Octopus, which was entangled by the turtle, realized that something was wrong. Only then did it discover that its younger companions had been separated by the ubiquitous bubbles.

Ji Ying didn't bring his men here to be spectators. When he saw Le Zhi successfully kill the ferocious octopus under his command, he and Cang Jin beside him remained silent for a long time. When they came to their senses, they realized that the other party was also frightened, and the awkwardness was instantly broken.

"Hahaha, ha, uh, well, um, I'll go first." Otherwise, if she just stood there like that, Lezhi probably could clear the place by herself, and then it would really be a joke that they came all this way.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you, don't worry." After giving this instruction, Cang Jin saw Ji Ying wave his hand to indicate that he had heard, and then hurriedly led his men into the battlefield. Cang Jin was somewhat amused and exasperated.

With the addition of the Han Hai Clan, the smaller octopuses in the surrounding area were successfully subdued. At this time, Lei Xiu's battle was coming to an end. Cang Jin was in charge of the overall situation and controlled the progress of each battlefield. After observing for a long time, he still couldn't see Le Zhi's shadow.

“Strange…” After observing for a while, Cang Jin still couldn’t see that silvery white figure. Muttering to himself, he grabbed Lei Xiu, who was about to head to another destination, and told Lei Xiu about losing Le Zhi.

"Ah," Lei Xiu was only taken aback for a moment, as if he had thought of something. His eyes darted around for a moment, and then, under Cang Jin's increasingly suspicious gaze, he slowly said, "Zhi Zhi, he might be lost."

This flaw can't be hidden after all. Oh well, Zhizhi probably doesn't care anyway. Let her know if she wants to.

get lost???

Lei Xiu's words successfully raised three big question marks above Cang Jin's head. Cang Jin could understand every word he said, but put them together, did he mean it seriously?

"Yes, that should be it. It's alright. These octopuses are no match for Lezhi. Once Lezhi kills them all and collects them, they will naturally appear." This area of ​​the sea, which has been designated as a temporary battlefield, doesn't have many creatures to begin with. When the octopuses are no longer blocking the way, the open space will naturally eliminate any chance of getting lost.

So the most important thing now is to end the battle as soon as possible.

This goal was everyone's aspiration, so without further ado, Lei Xiu nodded to Cang Jin and then chose the octopus furthest from the Han Hai Clan and charged towards it.

Although he was confident that he could control the current to the most appropriate level on the battlefield, it was better to stay away from friendly forces just to be on the safe side.

Seeing Lei Xiu leave without looking back, clearly not very worried about Le Zhi, Cang Jin could only shrug. Since Lei Xiu had said so, he didn't need to worry so much. Besides, Lei Xiu was right. If they encountered those octopuses, it definitely wouldn't be Le Zhi, who had already torn two octopuses apart, who would be at a disadvantage.

As Lei Xiu said, Le Zhi himself was indeed completely lost in a web of tentacles.

He had simply picked his next target randomly, but after taking one down, another would immediately follow, one after another. These octopuses seemed to have gone mad. Eventually, they realized he was a tough nut to crack, so they decided to run away.

This brings us to the Bubble Cage. The Spirit Spring Clan had quite a few members this time, and the Bubble Cage initially only tried to break these eight-legged creatures into smaller groups, so it was able to hold on for a while.

However, after the battlefield is expanded, gaps will inevitably appear in the bubble cages. These gaps are useless to the large octopuses, but they are an opportunity for the relatively small octopuses.

Therefore, seeing that things were not going well, these little octopuses that had been gathered together immediately began to squeeze into the gaps. Naturally, Lezhi could not just watch them escape, so one ran and the other chased.

The little octopuses escaped in a methodical way. When they encountered danger, they would instinctively seek help from their elders. Therefore, before Lezhi could react, he followed these little octopuses into the main battlefield between the tortoise and the big octopus.

Because of the tortoise, the space was even more completely concealed. When Lezhi's figure disappeared into this place, it was like a rabbit entering a boundless grassland. To find him, one would need the eyesight of a hawk.

Lezhi himself was helpless. One by one, the little octopuses found their elders and started playing hide-and-seek with him. He was led astray and got lost among the tentacles of this giant octopus, completely unable to find his way.

Just as Lezhi was at his wit's end and considering whether to break the deadlock by force, a strange yet familiar voice reached his ears, "Child, come here."

The voice was as deep and resonant as a morning bell, like an old man whispering in one's ear. It was a completely different feeling from the gentle warmth of the mother tree, so Yuezhi had no confusion and immediately ruled out that it was the mother tree that had come.

Who else could it be? With a suspicious look, Lezhi turned its head and looked in the direction from which the sound came. It hesitated for less than a second before flicking its tail. Its silvery-white body moved nimbly through the gaps in its tentacles, as if it were playing.

As the view ahead gradually cleared, Lezhi finally saw the owner of the voice—it was an old acquaintance! Surprised, she scanned the turtle, which was completely enveloped by giant eight tentacles, with only its head barely peeking out. Lezhi swam to the turtle, hands on her hips, and made sure her reflection was still in its pupils before speaking.

"Turtle, was it you who called me just now?" Although it was a question, the tone was already quite certain.

"Yes." Sure enough, the deep voice came again, and the turtle even winked playfully, indicating that it was indeed the one speaking.

"You actually know how to... Sigh, never mind, let's not talk about this anymore," Lezhi wanted to press for details, but before she could finish her sentence, she caught a glimpse of the skin, already congested with blood, at the joints of the turtle's limbs bound by its tentacles.

Although the turtle seemed to be in good spirits, being restrained for so long must have been uncomfortable, and now was definitely not the time for idle chatter. So, Lezhi swallowed back what she was about to say.

"I'll untie you." A flash of light passed between his fingers, and his sharp claws reappeared, reflecting a dazzling light in the turtle's eyes.

"Please, this guy is really difficult to deal with."

The turtle called Lezhi over to ask for help, and before it could even speak, Lezhi offered to help, which the turtle was naturally happy to do.

There was no need for politeness at a time like this. Yuezhi nodded to the turtle and then proceeded with remarkable efficiency. He had excellent control over his movements, being very careful not to hurt the turtle when cutting open its thick tentacles, especially when dealing with the exposed flesh.

When they reached the carapace, both Lezhi and the turtle were quite relaxed. The turtle even joked that he could be a little bolder on the shell. However, when Lezhi accidentally left a deep scratch on the carapace, a piercing squeaking sound came, and the turtle immediately shut its mouth.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Lezhi pursed her lips, wanting to chuckle but afraid of being impolite.

It's not his fault. These tentacles aren't ropes; they would resist if he cut them. He was just momentarily careless, which is why he accidentally injured the turtle.

The tortoise understood that it was indeed difficult to fight while also taking care of its allies. "Hehehe, it's alright... but please be careful, this old tortoise isn't up to the task anymore." The shell, which hadn't felt anything for millennia, suddenly felt a faint stinging pain, which startled the tortoise.
